He said a man and a woman, both locals and in their 30s, were arrested during the raids for investigation.

A total of 3,461 items, consisting of (imitation) branded clothing and handbags of various sizes were seized," he told at a press conference here today.
He advised the public to be wary of the tactics of some traders who sell imitation branded goods for high profit.
